Can people with diabetes have children?

Patient's question:

My husband is a diabetic, and his blood sugar levels are well-controlled, mainly through oral hypoglycemic drugs without needing insulin. We've been married for two years and are planning to have a child. However, relatives and friends say we should think carefully, fearing that the child might also be born with diabetes.

Doctor's answer:

Diabetic patients, blood sugar levels are well-controlled, mainly through oral hypoglycemic drugs, without insulin injections. We have been married for 2 years and are planning to have a child. However, relatives and friends say we must think carefully, fearing that the child might also be a diabetic.
Advice: Hello, elderly familial diabetes has genetic factors, but diabetes in young people is often related to genes or chromosomes. The issue lies in whether diabetic patients can have children. In my opinion, they can, but the prerequisite is that you must control your blood sugar well before giving birth.
